Our Tea

Nothing but natural

Cacao beans provide the substance for what we most often associate with chocolate. It comes from the cacao tree and is known by its scientific name, Theobroma cacao, which means "food of the gods." The cacao bean, found inside the pulp of the cacao fruit, is the primary raw ingredient for all chocolate products.

Cacao tea is produced from the shell, or husk, of the cacao bean, which is often discarded in the process of making chocolate. During this process, cacao beans are harvested, fermented, and dried. The shells are then removed from the beans, leaving the remaining nibs to continue forward in the process. Although only a byproduct of chocolate making, the shells are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals and serve as the foundation for our tea.

How to Brew

Our tea is made from the shell of the cacao bean, so it’s not as fragile as other tea leaves or tisanes. To ensure full flavor is released, it requires hotter water and a longer steep time. We recommend steeping 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea (using an infuser or tea bag) in a cup of boiling water (210° F) for at least 6-8 minutes. Enjoy it pure or with cream and sweetener.
